Haven't played the original but I know it hets lauded the title of one of the greatest games ever, thinking about getting it soon. Currently playing the Human Revolution game.

Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura, which is widely regarded as the greatest broken CRPG game next to Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines (admit it, just reading the name kind of makes you want to install it), and with all the fan mods you can circumvent a lot of the broken areas.

Decisions decisions...

I've always wanted to try Arcanum but never had the chance. I'd be all over Planescape:Torment myself. One of these days I'll actually finish it. There are also some relatively painless widescreen mods that you can apply to the game to improve its presentation on modern monitors.

I grabbed Fallout on Steam during a sale, but the color is all fucked up and I don't feel like messing around with .ini files to fix it. So I decided to buy it again on GOG and it works perfectly so GOG is my go-to place for older games now. I definitely do need to get use to the turn-based combat though. You never realize how much hand-holding modern games do with tutorial levels until you boot up an older game and it just throws you right into the action.

It would be the original 2000 release.

The aforementioned GOG.com has Arcanum for sale for $5.99. You'll probably need to call your bank to authorize the transaction though as the website is based in Poland (or somewhere around there) and banks get a little suspicious. Still, once you get it authorized there's so many old computer games available for super low prices it's ridiculous.

I bought Planescape: Tormnet last year but I didn't get very far in it, and when I saw GOG had the old Tex Murphy games I couldn't give them my money fast enough. Even though I've still got Pandora's Directive, Under a Killing Moon, and Tex Murphy: Overseer on CD, I could never get them installed on my PC.


I think I'm going to go with Fallout though.

still pretty much a beat-'em up, despite what you may say about its "detective mode", but it's not too bad, pretty smooth as a beat-'em up

i mostly enjoy all the swinging around like Spiderman

I loved Arkham City almost as much as Arkham Asylum I consider it a great sequel.

I do love my flash games, but I especially love flash games that are absolutely beautiful and make you think. This was a terrific little game that makes you examine your life, basically. Give it a try.
